REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT…
13 countries to date…
‘Resettlement involves the selection and transfer of refugees from a State in which they have sought protection to a third State which has agreed to admit them – as refugees – with permanent residence status. The status provided ensures protection against ‘refoulement’ and provides a resettled refugee and his/her family or dependants with access to rights similar to those enjoyed by nationals. Resettlement also carries with it the opportunity to eventually become a naturalised citizen of the resettlement country.’
• One of three durable solutions to refugee protection needs provided for in UNCHR’s mandate
• UNHCR definition:
• Resettlement is a protection tool and an expression of resettlement countries’ solidarity with countries in the developing world that receive the majority of the world’s refugees
• Resettlement is a voluntary activity – states are not obliged to receive resettled refugees,
and voluntarily agree to do so
• For 2013, UNHCR estimates a total global resettlement need of 181,000 refugees.
• For 2013, resettlement countries have made available 81,000 resettlement places

SUSTAINING & GROWING SHARE…
‘Cities capitalise from connecting the values associated with shelter city status - human rights, hospitality, international solidarity and intercultural dialogue - to the overall branding and marketing strategies of the cities.
‘Mapping of temporary shelter initiatives for Human Rights Defenders in danger in and outside the EU’ (February 2012)
• Your experience of city branding and marketing in relation to integration and migrant/refugee initiatives • Your reaction to the above statement - is this/would this be true for your city? • Your city and resettlement • SHARE Quality Mark/accreditation - a useful network priority?
